Help with your choice

Leave the sand usable

Sand-sifting fish need suitable fine substrate and clear floor space to feed naturally. For Yellow Sand Cichlid, Xenotilapia flavipinnis, coarse gravel can injure the mouth or gills. Provide secure retreats without filling the entire floor with rockwork, and keep water quality stable. Follow the named species’ group and territory guidance.

Retain the full name when comparing forms

Papilio, Spilopterus, Ochrogenys and Flavipinnis are different offers; a locality or dispatch grade does not make them interchangeable. This established range also includes fish traded as Xenotilapia melanogenys and listed as Enantiopus melanogenys. Keep that identity visible when checking feeding, social requirements and a breeding plan.
